$0 to $1M: S1E3 - Making the First $1K in Sales

June 14, 2021

 


This is the story of how I successfully launched a profitable product online.


 


But this story was preceded by almost 3 years of trying unsuccessfully to launch an online business, and before that, about 7 years of trying to figure out what I even wanted to start.


 


I was 6 months into my YouTube journey, and my channel had grown to about 15,000 subscribers. I was earning just enough from ad revenue and freelancing that I'd been able to finally quit my day-job. Though, to be honest, we were still barely scraping by and mostly living off of savings.


 


The time had come to try to launch a digital product to — hopefully! — create a stream of passive income.


 


The only problem? I'd already tried to launch three digital products, and none of them had been successful.


 


In Episode 2, I talked about the mistakes I made trying to do a big launch of a project I didn’t know  if people even wanted.


 


So what did I do differently that finally moved the needle and started generating sales?

  • How using the same format with different topics clarified what people were interested in learning about
  • How those quick and dirty live workshops became valuable assets
  • Why focusing on the process instead of a sales goal can be the mindset shift you need
